Lindhorst police (Schaumburg district) held a caravan safety day, advising owners directly at their vehicles.

Also reminded: mandatory gas system inspection every two years since 2025.
In Gersthofen, the Augsburg traffic police held an action day for weighing caravans and motorhomes ahead of the Pentecost school holidays. The event took place at the motorway station, where owners could check the load of their vehicles — both fully packed and empty. The aim was to prevent fines for overloading and improve road safety.
